Description
The Parke Building presents a rare redevelopment opportunity in the heart of West Philadelphia’s rapidly evolving 52nd Street corridor. Positioned prominently on the southeast corner of 52nd & Ludlow, this seven-story mixed-use building offers approximately 28,609 square feet on a corner lot with 61 feet of frontage and is located within a Qualified Opportunity Zone. Currently in shell condition, the property still showcases remnants of its original 1920s architectural character while providing a blank canvas for a visionary developer. The property is zoned CMX-4 and includes a use permit for a 46-unit apartment project, creating significant upside potential in a location surrounded by public transportation, neighborhood commerce, and ongoing investment. The rooftop delivers sweeping 360-degree views, including striking views of the Center City skyline, while SEPTA’s 52nd Street Market-Frankford Line station sits just steps away, offering direct access to Center City and University City. This is a unique opportunity to reposition a landmark-scale property in one of Philadelphia’s most transit-oriented corridors.
